When transport industry firm Intermodal needed a new ERP system they decided nothing but Greentree would suffice. “Our managing director knew Greentree from a previous business venture,” explains David Raphael, general manager of finance and systems for the Intermodal Terminal Services Group.

“We didn’t see the point in wasting time looking at other systems because we already knew Greentree could do a great job,” he adds.

The firm specialises in the design, construction, management and operation of passenger, intermodal and bulk rail lines and terminals. The group is comprised of four integrated businesses that provide services to the rail industry. When the businesses were brought together they all came with their own business systems and now Intermodal wants to consolidate.

With the implementation of its new Greentree solution the group is looking forward to eliminating time-consuming manual data transfers between its various systems, and giving its unit managers better access to information instead of waiting for month-end reports.

“We’ve got a national footprint in Australia, and since inception we have experienced continued growth which is expected to continue in the forthcoming years. We expect Greentree will deliver outstanding group-wide financial reporting and provide effective management of the business today and into the future,” adds Raphael.

Conversely, when leading environmental planning and design consultancy Boffa Miskell began to search for an integrated ERP system, Greentree faced stiff competition. It needed specialised project costing and improved access to information as well as to mitigate against the fear that its existing decade-old system might fall over one day.

Boffa Miskell assessed half a dozen systems before settling on Greentree, and price was a deciding factor.

“Greentree’s total cost of ownership over a 10-year period was a lot lower than its competitors,” says finance manager Blair Walker.

The Boffa Miskell name is on many major planning projects and it employs over 130 professional staff, including landscape architects, urban designers, planners, ecologists and cultural heritage advisors.

Walker adds, “Our goal is to be a leader in our field in New Zealand and in parts of the Asia-Pacific region. To help achieve that, we want better knowledge management, and having access to project and client information is an important part of that.”
